Oh I know how to do it, i just can't stand up for more than two seconds with getting a mad wobble or bailing out.

Big respect for doing it though man. Although its not the 'hardest' trick, it takes some balls.

I am in utter utter awe. I am still at the stage that getting on the bike and riding off the driveway scares the bejesus out of me

Watched a few of your clips, and as others have said, some cool stunts and the editing/camera work is pretty good too!

I also like the way you put in the odd f-up as it makes the video more entertaining. Seeing someone doing something perfectly only holds an audience so long

I too wondered about the tanks, and wondered if they got dented in a flip. - I then read down the thread! Bearing in mind we now know it is an intentional dent, how did you actually put it in there without bashing a hole in it!?

Oh and its good to see you are stunting in an abandoned industrial estate now, not the queens highway - much more responsible!! Anyway, so I approve of where you do it now, but curious if you ever get the roz down there as .. well you are not supposed to be doing it are you

I have messed about down my local industrial estate before and a couple of times now the roz have come down ... perhaps I am just unlucky.

You just beat the tank in with a hammer or your feet. You need to be careful not to get any creases or you'll split it. Then you build the back of the tank up with filler to get a nice lip on it to hold you in.

The police do come down very rarely, but we have permission so we're 100% legal there. I've even got some video somewhere of me doing circle wheelies about 2 metres in front of a cop car while they stood and watched.

Thank you.

I'm the one who lives in a pink house. I would repaint it, but its listed so can't really. Plus I kind of like it in a gay kinda way.
